It'll be fun, though in this case I first had to come up with enough equipment to outfit
said second unit (this detail being an important part of Mark's pitch).

I'm waiting to see the updated shooting schedule; it'll be interesting to see how many
times I'll be scheduled to be in front of the camera for both units at the same time.
At least I'm in pretty decent shape, so running back and forth between the two units
isn't going to be a problem, and a little heavy breathing from the exertion will fit in
with the character just fine.

But with or without the heavy breathing, so far trying to express this creature's sensitive,
romantic side just hasn't been working out too well. You can see that even a little bit of
casual nibbling on actress Sarah Grant has left her with some unfortunate side effects.

I know, I know, "use less teeth"--and I'm usually pretty careful about these things--but it's
not nearly that easy when I have these teeth to work with.

On the whole, I think it's a great approach for high-definition filming on a budget; just having a battery-powered
high-definition video monitor on the set can be a great help. The main drawback that I'm seeing is that even a
fairly powerful laptop is difficult to operate when you've got three-inch claws covered with blood.

...or at least it's not good for the laptop. I'm not sure if the extended warranty even covers that.
